Emmerdale: Tom has been abusing Belle

Over in the Dales, Tom has been abusing and controlling Belle in many aspects of her life.

He’s interfered with her work life – meddling with clients in a bid to get Belle to stay at home and spend less time at work.

Tom’s also controlling Belle’s home life as he spies on his oblivious wife through puppy cams, also following her every move on a secret tracking app.

As well as this, he’s interfered with her friendship with Vinny, making out that Vinny lost Piper the Dog under his watch when Tom had dognapped the pup all along.

Adding to this, Tom also hit Vinny on the head and left his life on the line before belittling him during his recovery from the incident.

Belle is only now starting to become more aware of Tom’s controlling nature, especially now that he’s trying to coerce her into trying for a baby with him.

Emmerdale fan theory: Tom to murder Samson Dingle?

It was recently reported that Samson Dingle may be set to be departing from the Dales as the character is axed.

Now, one fan has linked these reports to Tom and Belle’s abuse storyline. They reckon that Samson will work out that Tom has been abusing Belle before meeting a deadly end.

The fan theory reads: “My prediction for Emmerdale: Tom kills Samson after Samson realises what is going on with Tom’s abuse of Belle.”

However, Emmerdale have declined to comment on the matter. But, could Samson soon rumble Tom’s behaviour? Will Tom try to silence him before he gets exposed?
